Control4 Driver for TCL Google TV
IP Control for TCL Television Models
Local network control driver for TCL Google TV models.
Key Features
- Discrete Power Commands - True On/Off for reliable automation
- Full Navigation - D-pad, Home, Menu, Back, Info, Settings
- Number Pad - All numeric keys (0-9) plus Star, Pound, and Dash for direct channel entry
- Volume & Mute Control - Standard volume up/down and mute toggle
- Channel Control - Up/Down with ramping support
- Input Selection - Access source menu with navigation, or discrete input switching
Extended TV Compatibility
This driver supports two control methods to maximize compatibility across TCL TV models:
- TCL Protocol (default) - Uses the native TCL network protocol for direct, efficient control
- ADB Protocol (fallback) - Uses Android Debug Bridge for TVs where the TCL protocol is unavailable
This dual-protocol approach ensures broader model support. If your TV doesn't respond to the TCL protocol, simply switch to ADB mode in the driver properties for full functionality. This extended compatibility means the driver works with more TCL Google TV models than single-protocol solutions.
